My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul

Chapter 1461





Rumors circulated that Edwin had suffered a sudden heart attack due to his excessive indulgence. Some speculated it was from taking too many pills, and his aging body just couldn't handle it.

After all, he was no longer as young as he used to be, and wild nights like the last were hardly sustainable.

Some suggested that Edwin had been staying in hotels every day with a different woman each night. Even a young man with a strong constitution would struggle to keep up with that kind of lifestyle.

The police contacted Joe. Outwardly, he wanted to maintain appearances, so he visited the morgue to see Edwin. He then arranged for Edwin's funeral in the most discreet way possible.

Of course, this was all out of respect for Gloria. If it weren't for her, Joe wouldn't have bothered to take a single glance at Edwin's body.

They chose not to inform Gloria about Edwin's death. Over the past few days, her condition had worsened.

She seemed to be in a constant state of slumber, hardly waking up for more than a few minutes at a time. When she did wake up, it was only to exchange a few words.

The doctors advised the family to remain in the hospital, as Gloria could pass at any moment.

Skylar and a few others, including Edgar, remained vigilantly at the hospital, not daring to leave.

Around midnight, as Skylar rested on the nearby couch, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest. Instinctively, she turned her gaze toward Gloria's hospital bed.

Gloria had woken up without anyone noticing. When she saw Skylar's eyes on her, she smiled and asked, "Why are you awake all of a sudden? Aren't you going to get some more sleep?"

Gloria appeared alert and vibrant, a stark contrast to the dazed look she had worn in the previous days. It was as if she had regained her strength. Skylar hurried over to sit by her bedside. "Are you hungry, Grandma? Would you like something to eat? Are you feeling unwell? I can call the doctor to check on you."

Gloria shook her head with a smile. "I'm not hungry, and I feel fine. Have you and Joe been here the whole time these past couple of days? The hospital isn't comfortable. You should go home and rest well."

Throughout her life, she had always hated being a burden to others, preferring not to worry about her family. But now, she was old, and her body was no longer in her control.

Skylar looked at Gloria, her heart

sinking, but she masked her

emotions. "I'm not tired. The couch and bed in the ward are quite comfortable. Joe stepped out t

Gloria smiled gently, but her nod was weak due to her lack of strength. Her eyes were filled with warmth as she looked at Skylar. "Silly girl, you've been by my side allnovelbin

She was soon to reunite with her late husband. Yet, she wondered if he would remember and recognize her. She also thought of Viola and all the friends she had lost over the years.

But the thought of leaving Skylar and Joe made her heartache.

Skylar said softly, "I love being with you, Grandma. I'm only happy when I'm with you."

At that moment, the door to the ward creaked open. Joe walked in, his long legs striding across the room.

At first, he didn't notice that Gloria was awake. Just as he was about to walk to the couch, he suddenly glanced toward the hospital bed and noticed that Skylar was also looking at Gloria.

Gloria's face lit up with a smile as she gently called, "Joe, come here."

Joe paused in surprise but quickly made his way over. "Grandma."

Once he sat down, Gloria grasped Joe's hand and then took Skylar's hand, placing them together.

"You two need to promise me to take care of each other from now on. No matter what challenges you face, face them together. Always remember the promises you've made to one another," Gloria said, her gaze steady on both of them.

Only when they both nodded did she smile in satisfaction. But soon, her eyelids felt unbearably heavy, and she struggled to keep her eyes open.

As she slowly closed her eyes, she murmured, "I've been through so much in this life, but having both of you with me for this final journey, I have no regrets."

"Grandma!" Skylar and Joe called out in unison.
